Check outdoor insurance plea

HOUSEHOLDS around South Yorkshire are being urged to check their home insurance to ensure outdoor items are covered.

Lorraine Giddings, head of branch network at The Nottingham Building Society, which has a branch at Barker’s Pool, said; “Many customers are getting out in the garden to make the most of the weather which means garden furniture, toys and sheds are at risk of thieves.

“Many customers don’t realise the importance of having a good insurance policy that will pay out if such items are stolen – often, they simply aren’t covered.”
